As the rift within the PDP-Laban party widens, Sen. Manny Pacquiao will try to meet with President Duterte to discuss the plans of the nominal ruling party for the 2022 elections, a party leader said. | deejayapINQ
But Duterte’s spokesperson, Harry Roque, issued a statement saying that the President had directed Cusi “to organize, convene and preside” over its national council meeting set on Monday in Cebu City.
Reacting to Roque’s statement, Munsayac told reporters in a Viber thread that PDP-Laban has its own constitution and bylaws. That could put Duterte’s daughter on a collision course with Pacquiao, who is rumored to have his own presidential ambitions in the 2022 polls. The younger Duterte is not a member of the PDP-Laban but wields influence within the party.
